I am here for Friends

About Me

I like to play country music and make art. Preserving musical traditions and cultures in which things aren't crappy and plastic and disposable is really important to me. I like swimming in lakes, and wingnut adventures, eating cherries til I'm sick, and taking pictures of weird rusty things with my heavy old cameras. I live for the moments when I can play honky-tonk songs on the jukebox in smoky divebars and two-step with farmers, and I dream of the day when I will be an eccentric old lady with long white braids wrapped around my head like my great-grandma. I like the smell of dirt and wet pine needles. I get restless living in the city, and lonesome for Lake Superior, but I am too much of a glamour queen to give up all the great music and dancing that the city life affords me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A steel player who wants to start a classic honky-tonk band with me, or one who will help me figure out how to play the one that I have. People who want to help me get better at playing music. People who want to help me get better at making art. People who know what they want and are doing it, people who are unpretensious, people who like to sing at the top of their lungs, people who know all the songs in the Louvin Brothers catalogue, people who like to eat biscuits and pie. People who know how to two-step or are willing to learn, people who are going to help me get the jive to catch on in Portland. Oh, and Don Tosti, Illinois Jacquet, and Frida Kahlo.
